The New What Next: Rays vs. Orioles Part Deux — A Series preview

As odd as it may sound, the Baltimore Orioles are set to start a three-game home stand at Tropicana Field on Friday. In turn the Tampa Bay Rays, clad in their road grays, will be the visiting team in their home stadium.

Despite a sour start to their most recent home-stand, the Tampa Bay Rays left St. Petersburg on a high-note, sweeping the highest scoring team in the American League in three games. They were also able to finish their most recent nine game home-stand with a successful 5-4 record — giving them a .500 home record for the first time this season. Tampa Bay is now 11-8 and in the midst of a five game win streak. Next stop the Bronx, where the Rays are set to start a three game set against the Yankees on Monday.

The Tampa Bay Rays sent that team from Boston (and their pink hatted fans) packing Thursday night, tripping up the Red Sox by a score of 2-1 in walk-off fashion and walking away with their first home series win of the season.

Back at it Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Rays will start a three-game series against the Boston Red Sox following a crushing series sweep at the hands of the New York Yankees. At 1-6 at Tropicana Field, one can’t help but think the Rays are off to a slow start at home, and they’ll look to begin turning things around, starting Tuesday. Despite that lackadaisical start, Tampa Bay has won eight of the last 11 meetings against the Red Sox at home, going 7-3 at the Trop last season.
